Dietrich Bonhoeffer




Today is Dietrich Bonhoeffer's birthday. How much do you know about this remarkable man? He was a courageous Christian pastor in Germany during the 1930s and 40s who resisted the Nazi attempt to take-over and apostasize the Church. Bonhoeffer was deeply committed to resisting evil, standing for the Truth, teaching the Word of God, preaching the Gospel, rescuing Jews. What's more, he secretly discipled young pastors in Germany to do the same. In April 1945, he was hanged for participating in a plot to assassinate Hitler. 

I'm currently reading Eric Metaxas' riveting book, Bonhoeffer: Pastor, Martyr, Prophet, Spy, and highly recommend it.
If you can go hear Eric speak during his 10-city "Bonhoeffer Tour," I'd encourage you to do it. The tour begins this Friday.

Happenings in my home...

“The same Jesus Who turned water into wine can transform your home, your life, your family, and your future. He is still in the miracle-working business, and His business is the business of transformation.”    ~ Adrian Rogers “A man ought to live so that everybody knows he is a Christian… and most of all, his family ought to know.”     ~ D.
